The National Science Foundation is conducting a portfolio review for the facilities, science programs, and other activities of the Geospace Sciences (GS) section in the Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (AGS). The portfolio review is, in part, a response by the NSF to the recommendations highlighted for the Geospace scientific community in the National Research Council's (NRC) 2013 Decadal Survey, "Solar and Space Physics: A Science for a Technological Society". The review is being carried out by a Portfolio Review Committee (PRC), organized by NSF under its Advisory Committee for Geosciences. NSF has stated that the primary goal of the review, and of any resulting adjustments of the Geospace Section's portfolio, is to ensure that investments in the Geospace science disciplines and respective facilities are properly aligned, both now and in the future, with the needs and priorities of the Geospace scientific community and with the interests of the nation in funding cutting edge scientific research of relevance to national priorities. This project, under the auspices of the National Research Council, will examine the portfolio review (PR) and undertake the following tasks: (1) determine how well the PR's findings, conclusions and recommendation align with the issues and priorities highlighted in the NRC decadal survey, (2) examine actions already taken by the GS section in response to the decadal survey, (3) provide a forward-looking focus on the potential of all GS funded facilities, programs and activities for delivering the desired science outcomes, and (4) provide a clear set of recommendations on how the GS section should implement the decadal survey's priorities within the context of the NSF/Geosciences strategic planning process. The activities covered by this award will be done by a committee of up to 12 members who will be appointed under the auspices of the Space Studies Board and its Standing Committee on Solar and Space Physics (CSSP). The committee will meet up to three times over a five-month period. The committee's analysis and evaluation of the GS portfolio review will be based on its collective expertise supplemented by information and data gathered independently during the course of the study.

美国国家科学基金会正在对大气和地球空间科学 (AGS) 部门的地球空间科学 (GS) 部门的设施、科学项目和其他活动进行组合审查。该组合审查在一定程度上是 NSF 对国家研究委员会 (NRC) 2013 年十年调查“太阳和空间物理学：技术社会的科学”中向地球空间科学界强调的建议的回应。该审查由 NSF 地球科学咨询委员会下属的组合审查委员会 (PRC) 进行。 NSF 表示，审查以及由此产生的对地球空间部门投资组合的任何调整的主要目标是确保对地球空间科学学科和相应设施的投资无论是现在还是将来都与需求和地球空间科学界的优先事项，并符合国家利益，资助与国家优先事项相关的尖端科学研究。该项目在国家研究委员会的支持下，将审查组合审查 (PR) 并承担以下任务：(1) 确定 PR 的发现、结论和建议与 NRC 十年计划中强调的问题和优先事项的一致性程度调查，(2) 检查 GS 部门针对十年期调查已经采取的行动，(3) 前瞻性地关注所有 GS 资助的设施、计划和活动在实现预期科学成果方面的潜力，以及（ 4）提供一个关于 GS 部门应如何在 NSF/地球科学战略规划流程的背景下实施十年调查优先事项的明确建议。该奖项涵盖的活动将由一个由最多 12 名成员组成的委员会完成，这些成员将在空间研究委员会及其太阳和空间物理常设委员会 (CSSP) 的支持下任命。该委员会将在五个月内召开最多三次会议。委员会对 GS 组合审查的分析和评估将基于其集体专业知识，并辅以研究过程中独立收集的信息和数据。
